gdx-setup 1.11.0

libGDX changes

  • [BREAKING CHANGE] iOS: Increased min supported iOS version to 9.0. Update your Info.plist file if necessary.
  • [BREAKING CHANGE] Android Moved natives loading out of static init block, see #5795
  • [BREAKING CHANGE] Linux: Shared libraries are now built on Ubuntu 18.04 (up from Ubuntu 16.04)
  • [BREAKING CHANGE] The built-in font files arial-15.fnt and arial-15.png have been replaced with lsans-15.fnt and lsans-15.png; this may change some text layout that uses the built-in font, and code that expects arial-15 assets to be present must change to lsans-15.
  • [BREAKING CHANGE] Legacy LWJGL3 projects must update the sourceCompatibility to 1.8 or higher.
  • [BREAKING CHANGE] Android Removed hideStatusBar configuration, see #6683
  • [BREAKING CHANGE] Lwjgl3ApplicationConfiguration#useOpenGL3 was replaced by #setOpenGLEmulation
  • [CONTRIBUTING] Removed Maven and Ant build systems. libGDX is now solely built with Gradle. See https://libgdx.com/dev/from-source/ for updated build instructions.
  • [CONTRIBUTING] Gradle build now takes -PjavaVersion=7|8|9… to specify the Java version against which to compile libGDX. Default is Java 7 for everything, except the LWJGL3 backend, which is compiled for Java 8.
  • LWJGL3 extension: Added gdx-lwjgl3-glfw-awt-macos extension. Fixes GLFW in such a way, that the LWJGL3/libGDX must no longer run on the main thread in macOS, which allows AWT to work in parallel, i.e. file dialogs, JFrames, ImageIO, etc. You no longer need to pass -XstartOnFirstThread when starting an LWJGL3 app on macOS. See AwtTestLWJGL in gdx-tests-lwjgl3. For more information, see https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/pull/6772
  • API Addition: Added LWJGL3 ANGLE support for x86_64 Windows, Linux, and macOS. Emulates OpenGL ES 2.0 through DirectX (Windows), desktop OpenGL (Linux), and Metal (macOS). May become the preferred method of rendering on macOS if Apple removes OpenGL support entirely. May fix some OpenGL driver issues. More information here: https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/pull/6672
  • iOS: Update to MobiVM 2.3.16
  • Update to LWJGL 3.3.1; adds support for M1 Macs
  • API Addition: ObjLoader now supports ambientColor, ambientTexture, transparencyTexture, specularTexture and shininessTexture
  • API Addition: PointSpriteParticleBatch blending is now configurable.
  • TOOLS Features: Blending mode and sort mode can be changed in Flame particle 3D editor.
  • API Addition: Polygon methods setVertex, getVertex, getVertexCount, getCentroid.
  • API Addition: TMX built-in tile property “type” is now supported.
  • API Addition: Octree structure.
  • API Addition: Added StringBuilder#toStringAndClear() method.
  • FirstPersonCameraController keys mapping is now configurable
  • Fix: GlyphLayout: Several fixes for color markup runs with multi-line or wrapping texts
  • API change: GlyphLayout#GlyphRun is now one GlyphRun per line. “color” was removed from GlyphRun and is now handled by GlyphLayout.
  • Gdx Setup Tool: Target Android API 30 and update AGP plugin to 4.1.3
  • API Fix: Sound IDs are now properly removed; this prevents changes to music instances with the same ID
  • API Fix: LWJGL3Net#openURI does now work on macOS & JDK >= 16
  • API Fix: Fixed a possible deadlock with AssetManager#dispose() and #clear()
  • API Change: Enable the AL_DIRECT_CHANNELS_SOFT option for Sounds and AudioDevices as well to fix stereo sound
  • API Addition: CameraInputController#setInvertedControls(boolean)
  • API Removal: AnimatedTiledMapTile#frameCount
  • LWJGL 3 is now the default desktop backend. If you want to port your existing applications, take a look here: https://gist.github.com/crykn/eb37cb4f7a03d006b3a0ecad27292a2d
  • Brought the official and third-party extensions in gdx-setup up to date. Removed some unmaintained ones and added gdx-websockets & jbump.
  • API Fix: Escaped characters in XML attributes are now properly un-escaped
  • Bug Fix: AssetManager backslash conversion removed - fixes use of filenames containing backslashes

  • API Addition: GeometryUtils,polygons isCCW, ensureClockwise, reverseVertices
